What do our residents say?
Real experiences from those who call Villa Vie Odyssey their next adventure.
Holly Hennessee
To be able to be at sea without the headache and expense of my own boat and have my precious Captain the Cruising Kitty with me is truly heaven on earth. Incidental is the fact that I am deposited in some magnificent place every few days.
I'm one of those who doesn't look at the itinerary. Everywhere we go is wonderful!
Missy Silva
Dreamers who Dreamed! Crew & Residents who are lucky enough to be like family. Look at this unbelievable, blessed life we are also so fortunate to live here on The Odyssey!
To all of us, all of you out there who are cheering us on and to Kathy & Mike the creators of this magical community….
Happy Happy Valentine’s Day ♥️
Starr
Panama, 18 residents took a tour of the indigenous tribe of Embera. After a 2 hour ride, we took a 30 minute motorized canoe ride to the village.
Welcomed by tribe and saw how lunch was cooked- fish and plantain served in leaves. Got to see town, school and then off to waterfall. Here is picture with the tribe.
Kelly Kosmin
The Odyssey is simply amazing. Incredibly warm, welcoming, and just a “classic beauty” that anyone would be honored to call their home. Tons of community spaces, comfortable furnishings, breathtaking full window views and open deck spaces throughout the ship.
Katrina Howard
Living on a cruise ship was a dream, travelling the world was a dream. Villa Vie Residences made this come true with the Odyssey.
Follow The Kiwi Odyssey on YouTube and see what we are doing.
Jim Guld
We stayed for a week in December on their Try Before You Buy.
It worked.
We went back home and did more research and bought a Villa.
We're getting rid of everything and embarking next month in Colombia!
Experience a vibrant onboard lifestyle with activities for every interest—from arts and crafts, educational workshops, and pickleball, to card games, wellness classes, and nightly shows.
